Listen Later

This episode was recorded at 2pm on Friday February 11, 2022.

 

As the Convoy currently occupying Ottawa continues into third week, and its supporters attempt to spread the movement across major Canadian cities and ports of entry, is solving this crisis a problem of law or enforcement? Mike Nesbitt joins Stephanie through some of the proposed legal options. Is this terrorism? Sedition? Treason? Or is it … surprisingly… a lot of mischief? Do we actually need emergency powers to fix this?

 

Note: the podcast has already covered the use of emergency powers in prior episodes. See Ep 121 https://www.intrepidpodcast.com/podcast/2020/3/19/ep-120-an-emergency-podcast-on-emergency-law
